Just hold enter down for 30 seconds and you'll have skipped it easily

Yeah I did that... And then I found out the link to it was still selected in the other screen, so... it opened 15 new ones! LOL
As for your problem, you could try
Crap Cleaner. It allows you to clean up loooots of crap from the system, and gives a list of everything that will get started up when you start the PC. Disable all the useless or spammy things she won't need there, should help a lot as well. Make a System Restore point before you do tho, because if you don't know what you are doing, it's easy to fail
